To sum up, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The SX740 HS because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Canon SX740 HS will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The fresher SX740 HS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
